Review Policy

I am currently accepting books for review. I do accept self-published and indie works.

I prefer physical copies, but will accept eBooks. PDFs are the preferred format. Physical copies get preference over eBooks. Unless otherwise noted, books were bought by me or checked out from my local library. PLEASE DO NOT SEND BOOKS WITHOUT FIRST SENDING A REQUEST.

I accept books Young Adult and New Adult books in the following genres:

• Dystopian
• Paranormal
• Historical Fiction
• Fantasy
• Urban fantasy
• Mythology/fairy tale retelling

I do not accept books in the following genres:

• Romance
• Erotica
• Western
• Poetry
• Non-fiction
• Memoirs and biography

If you have any question about whether or not I'll accept a book, don't hesitate to ask!

The reviews on this website are my honest opinions about the book. As a writer myself, I know how much work goes into writing a novel. I promise to be honest, but not brutal. If I didn't like a novel, I'll say why it didn't work for me, but I'll also point out positive things that may mean it will work for someone else. If I didn't finish a novel, I will not post a review of it. However, I will post a recommendation for readers of the blog who might want to check it out.

My acceptance of a book does not guarantee a review. 

Requests for reviews must be made by email. Any requests left in the comments will be deleted without being read. All requests should be made to leyslibrary(at)gmail(dot)com and include the following information:

• Title
• Author
• Publisher
• Publication Date
• Synopsis
• Format(s) book is available in

ARC Policy: ARCs will not be sold. With permission of the author/publisher, they may be traded within the reviewer community or given as part of a giveaway. 

FTC Disclaimer: I do not receive any monetary compensation for my reviews on the website.

Blog Tour Policy

I'm always interested in helping authors promote their work. I'm open to doing guest posts, author interviews, posting non-spoiling excerpts from the work in question, and doing giveaways. 

If you are an author wishing to do an author interview, I prefer to have read at least your most recent work before doing the interview.

If you are an author wishing to do a giveaway, you can provide me with an eBook to give away. If you wish to give away a physical copy of your book or other "swag" items, you are responsible for all shipping costs. 

If you are interested in visiting Ley's Library as part of a Blog Tour, please email me at leyslibrary(at)gmail(dot)com.
